Raytheon
Anschütz to provide integrated bridge systems for new Royal Navy
Type 26 Frigate |
Raytheon
Anschütz is under contract to deliver the Integrated Bridge and
Navigation System for the first three Type 26 Global Combat Type
26 Global Combat Ship, including customer-specific design and
development, a land-based integration facility, and a wide range of
services up to completion of sea trials. Raytheon Anschütz is providing
the INBS as a major subcontractor to BAE Systems, the ship design authority
and builder |

The
proposed system will be an evolution of the INBS delivered to Type 45
destroyers, building on Raytheon Anschütz’s current generation
of Synapsis INBS. The Synapsis INBS offers state-of-the-art technology
and provides any function, anywhere, at any time to enhance situational
awareness and provide easy adaptation to suit different and changing mission
scenarios. Synapsis can also integrate tactical components to provide
support to situational activities. Open architecture and a shared computing
environment are key aspects of Synapsis and represent the cutting-edge
of bridge systems interoperability, integration, scalability and performance.
The architecture further simplifies logistics and reduces initial hardware
costs as well as through-life sustainment. Defined R&D tasks and software are provided by the UK-based Raytheon Naval Service & Support Center, working in close cooperation with the customer. The Type 26 Global Combat Ship is planned to replace the existing Type 23 frigates of the UK Royal Navy. The shipbuilding program consists of up to 13 ships, with the first ship planned to enter service after 2020. Link to our updated Type 26 Global Combat Ship technical datasheet |
